A Sunday morning ramble about the conversations I have had this week around our decision to home educate. Some musings on how it is similar to the questions I was asked when I 'went vegan' three years ago.

This episode explores my memories of growing up and how I found the UK education system in the 80s and 90s. 

There are references to self-harm and some other heavier concepts, so I would urge caution if listening around young people. I always try to keep things family-friendly, but I need to cover specific themes to give the complete picture. 

Thank you, as ever, for listening.

Hi everyone, thanks for coming back for more! This is just a short update after a few weeks of finding our way through this new way of life.
